Chapter 281 Opportunity



Nangong Jiu looked at Liu Xuan.

"I don't know how to tell you, you better see for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the scene of Li Qingya talking with the maid in the boudoir was reproduced in front of them without any omission.

The more they looked at it, the darker their faces became.

After they finished watching, Nangong Jiu put away the magic mirror and wanted to say something, but after looking at the expressions of the few people, he quickly shut his mouth.

Liu Xuan was so angry that he ran out of Kunning Palace.

Queen Chen looked at Nangong Jiu, whose lips were pursed into a line, and burst out laughing.

"Okay, just say whatever you want to say. No need to hold it in."

Nangong Jiu was relieved to see the Empress Dowager smile, and said, "I wanted to ask about the encounter between the Emperor's uncle and Li Qingya, but seeing the Emperor's uncle's angry face, I didn't dare to ask."

"It's normal for him to be angry! He was schemed against, and he treated the person who schemed against him like a treasure. He feels bad, but he will be fine in a few days!

If you want to know, just find another opportunity to ask him."

Emperor Dongling picked up the little man.

“Okay, that’s over.

Jiuer, Grandfather has a difficult matter and would like to ask for your help. But since you are so young, Grandfather is a little hesitant to bother you all the time.

Nangong Jiu fiercely waved her hands.

"Grandfather, to put it simply, we are a family. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask. I will be happy to help you.

To put it in a broader sense, I am the Princess Dingguo of the current dynasty. I enjoy the court's salary, so naturally I have to share the worries of the court.

Another key point is that I came here with a mission, a mission to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

Things like the Jing County disaster relief are done for the country and the people, as well as for myself.

When my merits are complete, I will be able to return to heaven and be myself again.

So, don't feel bad, you are actually helping me and providing me with an opportunity."

Emperor Dongling smiled and nodded: "Jiuer, Grandfather knows that you are a filial child.

Whether you are doing this for the mission or to please Grandfather Huang, Grandfather Huang accepts your kindness.

The difficulty that the Emperor's grandfather encountered this time was the 200,000 soldiers under the command of Guo Feng, the Duke of Zhenguo.

The Guo family has already plotted rebellion, so we absolutely cannot let them stay..."

Nangong Jiu listened carefully to Emperor Dongling's words, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandfather, is it that we should quietly control Guo Feng and persuade those 200,000 soldiers not to fight for the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

"That's what I mean! If we want to accomplish this without bloodshed, I'm afraid only you guys can do it."

Nangong Jiu pinched his chin and said, "Well, it's really hard for the emperor's people to go there without making a fuss.

Okay, leave this matter to us, we guarantee we will take care of it.

Once we've dealt with it, we'll send you a message and you can take action on your side. We'll try to resolve it all at once and avoid any future problems."

Emperor Dongling was delighted: "Good Jiuer! If you have any requests, just ask. Grandfather will definitely satisfy them."

"A request? Just ask the imperial kitchen to make us some more delicious food. I'll put it in my bag and eat it slowly."

Emperor Dongling ordered Eunuch Wei without saying a word.

"Laifu, go to the imperial kitchen and make some arrangements. Prepare some food that is easy to carry and let Jiuer take it with her. Don't say anything you don't need to say."

"I understand!" Eunuch Wei trotted away.

Emperor Dong Ling then looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "It's not too late to do this tomorrow. Go back to the General's Mansion today and spend time with everyone. You can leave tomorrow."

"Okay, then we'll go to the palace tomorrow morning to get food."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is well prepared for you."

"Then I'll go back to the General's Mansion first."

Emperor Dongling and Empress Chen smiled and nodded.

Nangong Jiu greeted Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing and prepared to leave, but he took a few steps and then stopped.

"Grandfather, that old villain in the Zhenguo Mansion is very cautious. You must be fully prepared to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation and running away."

"Don't worry, Grandfather Huang won't give him a chance to escape. Besides, where can he run to?"

"Then I'm relieved!"

Emperor Dongling and Empress Chen had just sent Nangong Jiu to the gate of Kunning Palace when they saw Eunuch Wei running quickly from the direction of the imperial kitchen.

"Princess, wait for me, I have brought you some delicious food."

"Run slower, don't fall!" Nangong Jiu looked at Eunuch Wei, who was in his fifties or sixties and still running very fast, and reminded him with a smile.

Eunuch Wei ran over and, after panting for a few times, handed a big bag to Xiao Wang.

"The roasted pigeon and braised chicken legs are for the princess, and the roasted chicken is for little Wang Xiaoxing."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!"

Eunuch Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Princess, you're welcome!"

General's Mansion.

Nangong Jiu brought little Wang Xiaoxing back to the general's mansion.

The whole family was drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall in the front yard.

Seeing Nangong Jiu coming back, Liu Hao hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. He couldn't wait to ask, "Jiu'er, how is it going?"

Nangong Jiu pouted in dissatisfaction: "Don't mention it! That Li Qingya is a liar, and it really pissed off the emperor's uncle!"

"Tell me in detail!" Everyone was waiting curiously for Nangong Jiu's next words.

Nangong Jiu was too lazy to say anything, he just waved his hand and used the magic mirror to show it to everyone.

Everyone was speechless after watching it.

Little Wang Xiaoxing was busy, calling the children who were on break at home: "We have delicious food."

As he spoke, he opened the bag he had brought back, pulled off a few roasted chicken legs, gave one to each child, and gnawed on the remaining chicken bodies.

While chewing, he muttered to Nangong Jiu: "Yours is inside."

Nangong Jiu walked with his short legs and handed the chicken legs and roasted pigeon to his family one by one. Everyone smiled and shook their heads: "We won't eat it, Jiuer, take your time!"

"It's delicious!" Nangong Jiu picked up a chicken leg and took a bite.

Looking at the two adults and several children eating happily, the whole family smiled.

Nangong Yunsheng said with some envy: "Their happiness is so simple, as long as they have food, they are content."

Nangong Yunxue smiled and nodded: "Every time Jiuer helps with something, the reward she asks for is delicious food.

For them, this is the best reward for them.”

After they divided up the things they brought back and were burping and getting ready to go out to play, Nangong Honglie and his sons and Liu Hao called Nangong Jiu and the others to the study.

"Jiu'er, your royal grandfather has already told you about Guo Feng, right?"

"Well, as I said, we'll go to the palace tomorrow morning to get some food, and then we'll head east."

Nangong Yunsheng took out a list.

"This is a list of Guo Feng's ten or so important generals. It details each person's family situation, preferences, etc. You might find it useful."

Nangong Jiu ran over, hugged him and kissed him fiercely: "Uncle, you are so thoughtful and considerate!"

Nangong Yunsheng hugged the little guy and said, "Jiu'er, this trip is quite dangerous. Your uncles gave you this job. You won't blame them, right?

This matter concerns the safety of Dongling. If it can be resolved without resorting to violence, it would be a great thing."

Nangong Jiu nodded.

"You gave me such a good opportunity to do good deeds, why should I blame you?"
